Wave Scanner

The Wave Scanner (ウェーブスキャナー) is an add-on peripheral for the Japanese version of Mega Man Star Force. Following in the footsteps as the Gates for the EXE series, this allows users to use Wave Battle Cards purchased for your game.

Features

Unlike the Gates and PETs used for EXE, the Wave Scanner combines the two into one package. Beast Link Gate along with the Link PET EX allowed the usage of Navi Data Chips for leveling up Link Navis, as well as Megaman and Protoman. The Wave Scanner has minigames in the same vein as the PETs, where you delete viruses using Battle Cards. Rockman's level will increase as you continue through, up to level 99, as in the Link PET EX for higher stats and bonus abilities.

Connectivity

Like how the Gates could connect to a GBA or SP, the Wave Scanner has a cable that can be connected to a DS Original, DS Lite, DSi, or DSi XL through the microphone jack port. The sliding portion that attaches to the GBA Slot is merely a way to attach it.

Scanner Data

The Wave Scanner Version you connect to your game reflects the Star Force which replaces your base form and can be used with any version. (Ex: Dragon Wave scanner can give Green Dragon form in Pegasus or Leo). Although you can still use your in game transformation, allowing you to have 2 forms in one game (Ex: Dragon Wave Scanner in Leo/Pegasus game). You can use the Wave Scanner with a game of the same version, but this only lets you transform back into that form. Powering up your Rockman in the scanner will allow you to upload its stats.

Bonuses are determined by level like the Link PET EX, from level 1 to 99. HP increase is determined by your level x10 (Eg. Level 34 = +340 HP)

Wave Battle Cards

A major difference from the Gates are extra bonuses you get from scanning a Battle Card. Gates gave usage of a chip in game but Battle Cards can not only give you usage of a card but instead upgrade the cards in your hand to Powered Up status, or "P".

Upon connecting the Wave Scanner to the DS, you can select the "Card Read" Function, which allows you to obtain various effects to the card(s) in your hand when selecting cards on the custom screen. Depending on the card, some affect one card, others can affect every card currently in your hand or overwrite a card completely with a new card. Effects can also stack if you keep cards in your hand while scanning additional cards.

There are some restrictions when using Battle Cards. Unlike Battle Chips, every Battle Card can only be used once per battle. You can only scan one battle card per turn, and cards affected will have a Large "P" on the right corner, showing it is powered up.

Standard Cards require having the card in your hand to be scanned (However a select few will convert a card with the same rules as Mega and Giga). Mega and Giga Cards require having a card with the same element to overwrite it. However unlike the Gates, these do not count to your library upon use.

Wave Battle Card Game

Additionally, the card can also be used without the game as it’s own card games using the board provided with Battle Card Starter Decks. All standard cards come in three different types: A, B and C.

• A and B types affect the card's attack range, AP and CP costs. C is reserved exclusively for white cards.
